T-Mobile Announces BlackBerry Curve With Wi-Fi

T-Mobile announced that it will begin selling the Research In Motion BlackBerry Curve. This version of the Curve has Wi-Fi on board and is compatible with T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home cellular/Wi-Fi converged calling service as well as T-Mobile's MyFaves program. Most other features and specifications of the Curve remain unchanged. It still has quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, as well as stereo Bluetooth, 2 Megapixel camera and support for up to 4GB of storage in the microSD slot. It costs $249 with agreement.

With the two phones that initially launched with T-mobile's Hotspot@home program, there was a few problems with using a bluetooth headset while using the WiFi calling as well. If you were on the WiFi network and tried to use your bluetooth sometimes it would have a lot of feedback and lots of echo, essentially unusable. I really really hope the new Curve doesn't have this problem, considering most consumers use a Bluetooth headset with a data device.

The phone is awesome though, it's been flying off the shelves since release!
